"Water from the Moon" is a song by Canadian singer Celine Dion, recorded for her second English-language studio album, Celine Dion (1992). It was commercially released in March 1993 as the fifth single in the United States. In Canada, it was a radio single only.[1] "Water from the Moon" was written by Diane Warren and produced by Guy Roche, with additional production by Walter Afanasieff. Warren did also the background vocals.

Background and release

Two music videos were made for this song. The first one is entirely in black-and-white (contains some religious sign and scenes). Later, they modified the video to include additional footage of Dion, colored brownish-yellow.

"Water from the Moon" peaked at number 7 in Canada. In the US, it had a moderate success on the adult contemporary format reaching number 11 on Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks.

Critical reception

The Gavin Report wrote about the song: "Celine's rapid ascent to musical stardom seemed inevitable from the moment she reached American audiences in 1991 with "Where Does My Heart Beat Now." In the short timespan between her debut album and this follow-up, that awesome vocal presence has only gotten stronger. Pairing this remarkable singer with the songwriting skill of Diane Warren spells slam dunk-and the result is just that."[2]
